About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

UNFORGETTABLE TIMES...500+ ACRES, 3/4 MILE ON PINE CREEK!

A DREAM FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY NATURE AND WILDLIFE ALONG WITH THE WARM PEACE OF AN EVENING FIRESIDE! Stroll along an old railroad bed beside a babbling and pristine trout stream running along breathtaking mountain views. A one-of-a-kind property with more than 500 private acres containing many hillside trails for your exclusive enjoyment--many options for hiking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing or just wandering and wondering.

The flat open areas around the cabin and our full-size barn offer a variety of sites for your private events including weddings, reunions and corporate retreats. Horse stalls are available with both outside and inside shelter. And to get even further away, an extensive variety of open and wooded trails meander across and over the mountain for many miles. And we are just up the road from the north entrance to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon!

Sunsets bring on a sort of magnetism to our unmatched fire pit where many flames of debate have settled the differences of the past among friends. Of course, there is always another matter called to order for the next evening, or of course you can simply lean back, unwind, and find your answers in the stars...of which there are many! Very far from any neighbors, only the trees will hear your singing and tales, and they will pass along only a few whispers....

Inside the cabin, enjoy extensive hand-crafted woodwork and construction hewn from timbers on the property. Relax in front of a unique and inviting stone fireplace built from stones gathered from the property and surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The fireplace rises from the center of the room with a cylindrical stack stretching up a two-story atrium and alongside a rustic spiral timber staircase. You won't want to leave this cabin...!

(Doors to the cabin and some out-buildings are monitored by exterior security cameras for protection of both you and us.)

(Make sure you are aware of advance notice requirement and fees for linens & towels, pets, total guests more than 10 or extra room.)

Great Getaway to Pine Creek Farm

The Octagon was a great venue for a Memorial Day Weekend trip of eight life-long friends. Our 47th year! The house was perfect sized and offering room to hang out inside as well as outside by the fire pit. We cooked three dinners and found the kitchen perfect for our needs. Very secluded and no fear of disturbing neighbors with music or yelling during horseshoes matches. The Tioga Golf Club was just minutes down the road and the bike trip down the Pine Creek Canyon was easy but beautiful. A great place.

Nice Property

Nice propoerty, but would have liked to know construction was going on. There was unfinished stone and the steps had no railing which made them unsafe

Thoroughly enjoyed the property

The farm is very private & our family enjoyed fishing in the pond & creek. We were visited daily by deer grazing in the corn field. Our family had a 5, 6, 8 & 2 year olds. The steps going up to the bedrooms are a bit challenging, all the grands except the 2 year old could use them. The outside steps were often used. The owner was easy to contact & very gracious in allowing us an extended stay due to car problems. Rebooking in the future is a strong possibility, may need to skip a year since an infant will be added in Sept.

Something for everyone

Our family made some great lasting memories here. We all had such a great time. This was a really unique rental with many amenities. Between the game room and the property itself there was always something to do. Joe was easy to work with and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. He was very friendly and you could tell he genuinely wanted our family to have an enjoyable trip. Our family is looking forward to coming back again in the future.

Great Spot for a Family Get-Together

This Pine Creek cabin was perfect for our family weekend: unique architecture, a beautiful setting, and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Convenient to the Pine Creek Rail Trail -- a beautiful spot for our bike ride -- and to the local bike rental. Not too far from downtown Wellsboro. The house itself was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Fun in the countryside.

We had a peaceful family time near to Wellsboro and PA Grand Canyon. From watching the deer munch on apples to hiking, this place has a lot of charm. The octagonal house was unique and comfortable for a large group. The host was available to talk with.

Return to Nature

The Octagon never disappoints! Joe and Maitland’s property is perfect for walking, hiking or sitting by the Pine Creek. The mountain trails and glorious Fall foliage bring peace to the soul. The upgraded facade, roof, and wood flooring add to the charm of the cabin and its welcoming atmosphere. We are already planning next year’s adventure.

Amazing Getaway

Our family had an amazing time at this property. Super clean, cool layout, and overall very chill environment. We mainly hung out in the house around the gorgeous fireplace which is appointed by a cute bear climbing the chimney. We will be booking again in warmer weather to enjoy the exterior spaces as much as we did the interior.
